FRAGILITY OF BEING Working with cameraless photography techniques this project focuses on expression of the self through the means of natural form and chemical manipulation. Using such a process allows both the viewer and artist to not only have a visual connection with the work but also one that can be felt. Thoughts, feelings and the exploration of the subconscious find their way onto the darkroom paper often unintentionally. Using natural forms, time and light the project allows me to seek a balance in the chaos that we call life. Thus resulting in images that illustrate the passion, love and loathing that the creative individual pours into their work, heart and soul. Saffron Toms
